A rare Suffragette 'Angel Of Freedom' brooch. The circular silver green and purple enamel brooch designed by Sylvia Pankhurst, featuring the 'Angel of Freedom' standing before a globe containing the letters 'WSPU', a banner with the word 'Freedom' above, a scroll containing the words 'Votes for Women' at her feet, decorated with chains and flowers, maker Henry Matthews, hallmarked Chester 1910, with original pin, diameter 30mm.The 'Angel of Freedom' was designed by Sylvia Pankhurst for the Prince's Skating Rink Exhibition of May 1908 and features on the tea service designed for the café as well as numerous other items such as badges, jewellery and other ephemera. The WSPU was one of the first movements to take advantage of the use of logos and visual marketing to promote their cause and Sylvia Pankhurst, a highly talented artist, designed much of its merchandise and propaganda, with the 'Angel of Freedom' perhaps her most recognisable motif.The white enamel around the edge of the brooch has mostly chipped off. Minor areas of enamel loss to raised areas. Chips to the enamel on the back. Pin is good and original.

Second World War – 2nd Lt. Arkless Lockey, Prisoner of War of Japan. An emotive sketchbook compiled after being taken prisoner at the Fall of Singapore and subsequently held in the Prisoner of War camps Changi in Singapore, Heito in Taiwan and Tokyo Branch 2 and Zentsuji in Japan, circa 1942-1945. 33 detailed sketches, some covering two pages, plus 11 separate loose pictures, including portraits of other prisoners, album 20.5cm x 15cm. This is a rare album which was produced at great personal risk, given that prisoners were forbidden from creating any documentation and subject to severe punishment if found. Sketches comprising: scenes at Heito (titled 'Haito') - including P.O.W.s loading stones, exterior and interiors of Hut. No. 1 Officer's quarters, general camp views, soldiers exercising, straw rope and shoe making. Tokyo Branch 2 - the exterior and interior of the camp, 'Rice Fatigue' (prisoners hauling a cart). Prisoner of War transport ship - Singapore to Taiwan - 'P.O.W. class'. Changi - Royal Engineer's kitchen. Zentsuji - Room No. 3, Library, Corner of Galley, Birds-eye view of the camp. General untitled sketches include Japanese prison guards and locals riding a buffalo, soldiers overlooking a pigpen, caged areas, manual labour and a poignant black and white drawing of a 'Last Post' trumpeter on the final page. The portrait sketches are of fellow American and British prisoners at Zentsjuji, dated January 1944 and identified by name. Examples include 'Frank Burwell' (BURWELL, Frank H. Jnr., 1st Lt., Infantry, U.S.A.); 'Stan Gladys' (GLADYS, Stanley J., 1st Lt., U.S.A., QMC); 'John Fisher' (FISHER, John W., 1st Lt., U.S.A., Infantry); 'Jeff Caldicott' (CALDICOTT, G. H., Lt., Singapore); 'Jim' Leggatt' (LEGGETT, James L. Jnr., Lt., USAAC, Engineer); 'Padre Godfrey' (GODFREY, Rupert C. R., Chaplain, R.A., Java); 'Gill Warner' (possibly WARNER, William S., 1st Lt., USAAC) and 'Chris Power' (POWER, C., F/O., R.A.F. Ireland). Notes: Second Lieutenant Arkless Lockey [227089] Royal Engineers served with III Corps. At the time of his capture in the Fall of Singapore, he worked for the Deputy Assistant Director of Transportation. Based on the single sketch at Changi, he was likely held there briefly before he was transferred to Heito in August 1942, presumably as part of the large contingent of British and Allied P.O.W.s to arrive at Heito camp late that month. The main slave labour task in this camp was to pick rocks and stones from a vast area of an old dried river bottom near the camp to make the land ready to plant sugar cane. Camp Commandant, 1st Lieutenant Tamaki, was known for being sadistic and caring little for the welfare of the prisoners. He boasted of aiming to 'fill the cemetery', which he did (132 men died at Heito, the highest in-camp death rate for camps in Taiwan). 'Tokyo Branch 2' was a Dispatch Camp where the primary labour was shipyard construction. Based in Yokohama Baseball Stadium, it was renamed 'Tokyo Branch 3' on 1st August 1943. By that time, Lockey had likely transferred to Zentsuji camp in southern Japan, presumably until the end of hostilities. Despite being one of the few camps designed to hold prisoners (previously used in this capacity during the Russo-Japanese War in 1907 and the Sino-Japanese War in 1937) and used as a 'show' camp for propaganda purposes, conditions at Zentsjuji were still deplorable and overcrowded. Heckling and depriving prisoners of food or medicine was reportedly a regular occurrence at the camp, which also acted as the headquarters for several work camps in the area. Access to food ranged from fair during the early months of occupancy to starvation levels in July 1944. The rice served contained weevils and worms, and the rarely offered meat rations ranged from fresh to rotten. No hospital existed on the site, but a side room with six bunks was reserved for medical cases, though the unfortunate occupants would only receive half rations. The barracks consisted of two two-story buildings, both former warehouses, with half of one building dedicated to the guards. These were unheated after 1943 and poorly insulated. Each barracks was divided into rooms of 32 men, with four windows and only two light bulbs. These quarters were all infested with bed bugs, lice and fleas. Hot baths were available twice a month during winter, but only cold baths were permitted during the summer. It is a testament to the skills of the American officer working as the leading physician that he completed 24 serious operations without a single loss of a patient, with spinal novocaine being the only anaesthetic available. Clothing provisions were generally adequate, but more socks and gloves were always sought after, and the prisoners, in their malnourished states, could not keep warm despite being heavily clothed. Workdays primarily consisted of loading and unloading freight or cargo vessels, though some enlisted men were assigned to camp detail. Hours were long, often 6 am - 7 pm, with three 'rest days' per month, taken up by other enforced work around the camp. Unlike the enlisted men, officers received fewer rations but were not forced to work outside in the rain or snow. The camp was liberated on 12th September 1945, and Lockey was reported as no longer a prisoner of war by 26th September 1945. Arkless Lockey was born in 1901 in Durham. Post-war, he settled briefly in Malaya and Hong Kong with his wife, Marjory Tinto (b.1914), whilst working as a Railway Officer before returning to the U.K., where he died at 80.
Four mid-century vintage LP records for Charlie and his Orchestra and a selection of paperwork. Comprising 0117 'I'm Playing With Fire' & 0118 'Goody Goody', No.0148 'Makin' Whoopee' & 0149 'The Continental', XXVI 'Nice People' & XXVII 'Thanks for the Memory' and XXXXIV 'You Can't Stop me from Dreaming' & XXXXV 'With A Smile and A Song'. Together with a newspaper article and a 1987 letter from Alan Cunningham of the Sunday Mail enquiring where the previous owner came by the four records and inviting them to share the story in a newspaper article. Charlie and his Orchestra (also known as 'Templin band' and 'Bruno and His Swinging Tigers') were a Nazi-sponsored German propaganda swing band. Traditional Jazz music styles were seen by Nazi authorities as rebellious but, ironically, propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels decided to utilize the style through shortwave radio broadcasts aimed at the Allied troops.

1723 King George I silver South Sea Company Shilling (Bull 1586, ESC 1176, S 3647). Obverse: first laureate draped bust of George I by John Croker. Legend reads 'GEORGIVS · DG · M · BR · FR · ET · HIB · REX · F · D ·'. Reverse: crowned cruciform shields of royal arms with central garter star, 'SS' in two angles, 'C' in the others. '17 23 · BRVN ET · L · DVX S · R · I · A · TH ET · EL ·'. Composition: 925 silver. Weight: 5.90g. Diameter: 26mm.The South Sea Company was founded in 1711 as a joint-stock company with a British government-granted monopoly on the supply of African slaves to the islands in the 'South Seas' (Oceania) and South America. Since the area was controlled by the Spanish and Portuguese there was no realistic prospect of profiting from the monopoly. However, this did not stop mass speculation in the Company, causing their stock to rise, peaking and crashing in 1720 when the so-called 'South Sea Bubble' collapsed, ruining many investors.Too big to fail, the British government continued to support the Company including buying a cargo of 25 tonnes of silver from them in 1723. About 40% of this silver was delivered to the Royal Mint which was quickly converted into King George I Halfcrowns, Shillings and Sixpences, struck in May 1723 with a privy mark to the reverse with the letters 'SSC' between the cruciform shields.The government's bail-out of the South Sea Company was controversial and it may be the case that SSC coins were intended as a form of propaganda, reminding the British public that the Company did bring in some profits. This is similar to earlier 'VIGO' coins, struck during the reign of Queen Anne, celebrating a notable victory in the War of the Spanish Succession.

"Keep Calm and Carry On" is a motivational slogan that originated in the United Kingdom during World War II. The phrase was part of a series of propaganda posters created by the British government in 1939 to boost the morale of the public in the face of potential German invasion. Here are key points about the slogan:1. **Origin:** The "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster was designed by the Ministry of Information in 1939. It was intended to be used if Britain was invaded by Nazi forces. The design features a simple layout with the text "Keep Calm and Carry On" written in white on a red background, accompanied by a distinctive crown at the top.2. **Limited Use:** While the poster was produced, it was not widely distributed or displayed during the war. Only a few copies were printed, and the majority were stored away. The "Keep Calm and Carry On" slogan largely faded into obscurity after the war.3. **Rediscovery and Popularity:** In the early 21st century, a surviving copy of the original poster was discovered in a second-hand bookstore in England in 2000. Its vintage aesthetic and the motivational message resonated with contemporary audiences, leading to a resurgence in popularity.4. **Adaptations and Parodies:** The slogan has been adapted and parodied in numerous ways, with variations reflecting humor, satire, and a range of sentiments. Phrases such as "Keep Calm and Drink Tea," "Keep Calm and Carry On Shopping," and many others have been created.5. **Cultural Impact:** "Keep Calm and Carry On" has become a cultural phenomenon, transcending its original wartime context. It has been embraced globally as a symbol of resilience, composure, and an optimistic outlook in the face of challenges.6. **Merchandise and Reproductions:** The slogan's popularity has led to the widespread production of merchandise featuring the phrase. Items such as posters, mugs, T-shirts, and various other products with the "Keep Calm and Carry On" motif can be found in a variety of settings.7. **Motivational Message:** The enduring popularity of the slogan is often attributed to its timeless and positive message. It encourages individuals to remain composed and carry on with their daily lives, even in difficult circumstances."Keep Calm and Carry On" has become more than a historical artifact; it has evolved into a symbol of resilience and a reminder to stay composed in the face of challenges, making it a recognizable and enduring part of popular culture.Measures 26 x 38.Backed by linen.

Original vintage poster published by the No More War Movement from Arthur Wragg's book, Jesus Wept, publishers Messrs Selwyn, Blount Ltd. Black and white image by the British illustrator, socialist and pacifist, Arthur Wragg (1903-1976), featuring a person wearing a gas mask holding a dead girl with unfinished wording quoted from the Bible: "and Jesus said suffer little child..." for his book, Jesus Wept, published in 1935 (described as "a commentary in black-and-white on ourselves and the world today"). Good condition, folds, small tears on margins. Arthur Wragg (3 January 1903 - 17 August 1976) was a British illustrator. His stark poster-like artwork often dealt with themes of social alienation and spiritual emptiness. All his work was done for publication, rather than in 'fine art' media such as paintings or series of prints. As a result, he has been neglected in comparison with contemporaries such as Graham Sutherland and John Piper, but Wragg's choice of medium was an ideological one. As a socialist and pacifist, Wragg wanted his art to speak directly to common people rather than to art-lovers. His vivid, polemical style had considerable influence on other popular forms in the 1940s and 1950s, such as government information posters and advertising. He was born in Eccles, Greater Manchester, and grew up in Harrogate, Yorkshire, along with his sister Amy Wragg, born 1898. He was the son of George Arthur Wragg (a travelling soap salesman for Lively Polly) from Sheffield, Yorkshire, and Alice Smethurst Eckersley (a telegraphist) from Salford,Lancashire (a member of the prominent Williamson family of Salford).[citation needed] He trained at Sheffield School of Art before settling in London as a freelance commercial artist, in which capacity he was in continuous demand for the rest of his life. In the 1920s he contributed mostly to various women's illustrated magazines, but later branched out into book-jackets and work for left-wing newspapers such as Tribune and Peace News (including cartoons) and illustrations for books and pamphlets about Christian socialism, pacifism and social justice. Out of this more committed range of work, and out of the social issues raised by the Great Depression of the 1930s, came several books in which Wragg illustrated biblical texts in a politicised way, notably The Psalms for Modern Life (Selwyn & Blount 1933) which went through several reprints. The simplified block-style and dramatic chiaroscuro effects of these illustrations make them resemble woodcuts rather than pen and ink drawings (misleading some collectors into thinking the books are just reissues of hand-printed original editions) and there are many affinities with the visual-symbolic language of propaganda art, although Wragg's agenda is more generalised. Social realities and symbols are blended to convey deprivation, justice, conscience, and the persistence of spiritual values in the alienated urban-industrial environment. A friend and follower of the popular pacifist preacher, Canon Dick Sheppard, Wragg became a Sponsor of the Peace Pledge Union and was a conscientious objector during World War II. After imprisonment, he became an art-teacher in schools, returning to freelance work after the war. His personal style became more airy and more fantastical, and sometimes surreal. From 1953 until his death he produced illustrations for record covers for the Argo record company. As yet there is no catalogue of his work but there is a book about the artist: Arthur Wragg: Twentieth-century Prophet and Jester (Sansom 2001) by the late Judith Brook, who had been taught art by him at school. Early in his career he featured as the 'Artist of Note' in the long-running magazine The Artist (Vol XI No 5, July 1936). Country:UK. Year:1935. Designer:Arthur Wragg. Size (cm):76x50.5
